Roast Sweet Potato Salad

Roasted sweet potatoes bulks this salad up and keeps you full while the toasted pumpkin seeds add a nutty flavour and gives the salad a nice crunch.

Hello!

I am always experimenting with my salads and I would like to share this easy peasy recipe with you.

At the start of the week I usually roast a few sweet potatoes and keep them refrigerated. I can then heat them up for a quick snack before the gym or just add them into salads, like I did here. The recipe I use is set out below but feel free to roast them using whatever spices you fancy.

The toasted pumpkin seeds in this salad really gives it a delicious crunchy boost so don’t skip it if you can. The only thing to be careful of is not adding too much. They are so delicious but are also really high in fat so a little goes a long way here.

Hi everyone!

I am proud to report that I am a qualified gym instructor now. I am so happy! I never thought I would have done this until I actually went out to do it. Now I am all the happier for it. So, the point I am trying to make is this – if you too are thinking of doing something, just believe in yourself and go for it. Don’t suffer by paralysis from analysis.

Moving on from the inspiration of the day, here is a recipe I tried over the weekend.

Sesame Chicken

Simply delicious pieces of chicken slathered in a scrumptious sauce!

Hi everyone!

I have been so busy with college and I absolutely love every minute of it. I just had my mid-term practical assessment and it went well! I was so nervous before it, I was waking up in the night reciting the different muscles each exercise would work. The upright row works the trapezius, anterior deltoids, medial deltoids and the biceps! So on and so forth. It’s good stress I assure you.

Since I was having my mid-term break, I was looking up new recipes to try and I thought I would make this sesame chicken. Oh, it goes so well with rice. Make more sauce if you want, you will not regret it.
